MORE ABOUT THE POSITION

Academic Coaches provide essential instructional support to the faculty of record within fully online courses, assisting with day‐to‐day course management. Responsibilities may include grading assignments according to faculty direction, monitoring discussion forums, responding to student inquiries within 24 hours, tracking engagement, and meeting regularly with the faculty of record. In this model, the Academic Coach serves as a facilitator and grader at the direction of the faculty, while the university faculty member remains the Instructor of Record. This structure allows faculty to focus on course objectives, curriculum, and meaningful, high‐impact interactions with students.

Most courses supported by our Academic Coaches are accelerated—typically 5 to 9 weeks in length—and offered year‐round in fully online formats. With 4 to 7 term starts each year, Academic Coaches work in a dynamic, fast‐paced environment that aligns with the needs of adult learners and working professionals.
